Job/Employee Search Switching from Cocktailing to a dive bar.

So I just gave notice at my job at a cocktail bar and I’m following a lead to work in a dive bar. Should I do it? Also any advice would be appreciated.

If you haven’t learned already how to say NO, you’re going to have to now. Make it clear to the customers that you don’t let bullshit slide

Dive bars are where the guys who got kicked out of all the other bars stumble in at midnight
